I would love to have my black 78 TA back now ... and modify that lame TA 200 hp engine using modern technologies. That car handled and was comfy ... just needed more power. Mine was a WS6
Love it! I had a 78 Trans Am when in Vegas in the early to mid 80s. It wasn't restored like yours but was a good straight driver. It had a street built 1973 SD 455 with 6X heads along with other goodies installed backed by a built turbo 350 trans with 3:42 posi gears. IIRC 2200 rpm converter I estimate 400 to 450 HP range. It was fun and you may have seen it around? Black Bandit complete with T-Tops. I sure miss it along with the cute little blond girlfriend I had.
@Anarchylabz ok, that sounds right, we have 20k in ours, and it's ready for paint and interior. Ours was an old drag car, so it probably was in worse condition than normal. Yours turned out beautiful, hopefully, our dose to
0:07 I bet his mechanic is looking forward to replacing all those burned-out clutches.

Most slipped clutch ever.

Schönes Auto hätte ich auch gern in meiner Garage.
Beautiful ❤! Keithpausch 😊
Pontiac knocked it out of the park with the second generation I have a second gen Camaro I'm so jealous
Ever drive a a stick before? Lol
also no reverse lights, but save your money for fixing them for the many clutches you're going to need!
Drive it like you got a pair.

Reverse lights not working guess it's not fully restored
Nice car but not a single shot of the interior in the entire 6 minute video other than the door opening.
@zackery5411 yeah between the 2 cars didn't have the time.
Nice Car!!! Bad Driver.............
Im about halfway through restoring one of these. What did you end up with in yours time wise and money?
@@barnhousegarage it was done by Restoration shop in Florida we are talking in the hi 30,s plus another 15k in the engine according to the owner

WHAT? Does he not know how to drive this thing? that was terrible..OMG.. I had to stop watching.

Worst driver I’ve seen in a very long time. So bad, it completely ruins the whole vibe. Shame too because that was a nice car.
If you are going to own a TransAm with a 4 speed, learn how to drive a stick shift- that poor Trans Am.
